“I don't call myself an 'industrial designer,' because I'm other things. Industrial designers want to make novel things. Novelty is a concept of commerce, not an aesthetic concept.” WantNovelConceptsDesignerAestheticCommerceNovelty Author:Eva Zeisel
“Originality is another criterion of aesthetic value. We may formulate an originality principle, according to which highly valuable works of art provide hitherto unavailable insights.... Notice that, although originality is a necessary condition of high aesthetic value, it is far from a sufficient condition. Many original works have little or no aesthetic value. An artwork may present a novel but uninteresting perspective, or one that is original but wrong.” MayLittlesArtValuesPrinciplesNovelConditionsPerspectiveOriginalsValuableInsightSufficientWorks Of ArtAestheticOriginalityCriteriaArtwork Author:James Young
“The short story, free from the longuers of the novel is also exempt from the novel's conclusiveness--too often forced and false: it may thus more nearly than the novel approach aesthetic and moral truth.” MayStoriesMoralNovelApproachShort StoryAesthetic Author:Edith Wharton
“The novel may stimulate you to think. It may satisfy your aesthetic sense. It may arouse your moral emotions. But if it does not entertain you it is a bad novel.” IfsThinkingMayDoeEmotionMoralNovelAesthetic Author:W. Somerset Maugham
